Birch is best known for his graphite on paper works which incorporate phallic symbols and other erotic imagery...'

Ion Birch, an artist currently living and working in NYC, is perhaps most widely known for his erotic images using graphite on paper. His portrayal of surreal sexual fantasies is humorous, perverse, and beautiful all at once, with a delicate touch that lends a gentle and almost child-like quality to his pieces, as if they arose from an adolescent boy's wet dream.
